Ship Explorer

THIS IS NOT A GAME. This is a virtual museum. If you are looking for fast action games this is not for you, but if you are into history, exploring things you will never be able to in real time and enjoying a good story this IS for you. Look into what is and what is not in this simulation, and just enjoy it!!! Its a great experience.

it's a very good game. if you're a maritime enthusiast, this game is a must! however, i think it should be a tad bit better optimized.

Id love to be able to see bismark's navigation bridge or explore the gun houses. But there is almost no interior spaces.

I have really enjoyed exploring all of the ships in the game so far as well as finding all of the collectibles and unlocking all of the achievements. It is very unique among walking simulators I have played as unlike most of them there is not a set story mode but rather a few different scenarios you can pick between suck as the final moments of the Bismarck or the SS United States in Dry Dock. I really enjoyed seeing all the historical documents and pictures and look forward to future ships being added.

I love this game and the team behind it, especially the narration by my friend Mike Brady, learning about a ship like the Bismark or Morro Castle is possible through a video or book, but to be able to stand where people would have stood and walk around the spaces on these ships is so awesome. It works well on the steam deck with lower-medium settings, I don't know why it says it's unsupported, many unsupported games work on the deck perfectly, all the mafia games are unsupported but work well (I've not played old country which I am reliably told is a slideshow on the deck tho) I really recommend this game to anyone and find it fun to wander around the ships at different times and in different weathers, I eagerly look forward to future updates. The only thing someone may wish to know before buying is that there aren't many interior spaces, they are adding some and I really enjoyed the recent addition on the SSUS.

If you're a maritime history nerd like I am, than this is for you. Fantastic soundtrack and very interesting narrations as you walk around very detailed and somewhat interactive models. Can't wait for more updates and DLC for this sim. If you like this kind of stuff than you should also wish list "Titanic Honor and glory". Also you should check out the devs youtube channel, which is called "Ocean liner designs"

as a person who loves oceanliners this game is AWESOME! i do however wish that ships like Queen mary was in it, but to be fair the game is pretty new and the developers are working hard.

the scale....wow

a game where your ship exploring wishes come true...

Anyone who's watched the Oceanliner Designs videos on YouTube will no doubt have been impressed by the quite beautiful digital recreations of the ships under discussion by our reliable friend Mike Brady. Here those models have been remastered and improved to allow the player to walk around freely around on them and explore them as much as they like, with discoverable collectible items on board such as photographs of the genuine ship and posters, objects, and other items that offer insights into the history of the ship and life on board, plus some new narrations recorded by Mike Brady. The results are a fascinating 'digital museum'. The player can choose weather and time of day, and included is a photo mode where you can explore the ship in free camera. The fleet available so far includes the SS United States, Morro Castle and an incredibly detailed Bismarck, playable both at sea and as a burning wreck being sunk by the Royal Navy! Interiors are minimal (but then recreating these ships fully would surely take years - maybe decades - of work ... think how long it's taken for Titanic: Honor & Glory to reach us?). Overall, a must if you're an Oceanliner Designs fan and a maritime history nerd in general (like me). Just don't think of it as a 'game' per se, as there are no objectives to complete, just a nice leisurely stroll through history. Or as an interactive Oceanliner Designs video.
